Duchene has the speed and skill to play on the top line, although Gaudreau would have to switch wings. Landeskog has the all around game every team craves, but is missing that elite talent in any one area. Treliving now has some flexibility on the blueline, and then still has a pipeline that is heavy on blueline talent.
Duchene has played plenty of time on the right side. No need to move Gaudreau. Dutchy is a favorite of mine, and I know it's unlikely that we acquire him, but man I still love to dream about it.
